Hey,
I've thought about converting only to gentoo because I haven't been using my Windows for a while anyway. My Windows is on 1.5TB of hard drive, and (I like to download movies) so I'm always running out of space. I really don't want to re-do everything, so is it possible for me to just transfer from one hard drive to another? They're different types of hard drives so i'm really not too sure if it's possible.
Thanks

If you are happy with your Gentoo the way it is, why not simply wipe out windows and create a new partition? You can then add a mount point to /etc/fstab. That would save you the trouble of coping the operating system. It would be quicker._________________First things first, but not necessarily in that order.

If you want to use it to enlarge partition with Gentoo than yes you will have to repartition it.
But I have my win partition normaly mount in my home and store there almost everything ( I move there my DISTDIR ) and I'm still happy with my 15GB root partition from my first install 2 years ago._________________Sorry for my English. It's not my native language and I'm still learning it.

Linux isn't fussy where in the world (literally) its filesystems are physically located.
They are all attached to the filesystem tree and behave in the same logical manner.

You easiest approach is to mount your windows partition in the Gentoo filesystem tree as keep using it as is for saving things on.
As Linux permissions and ntfs permissions don't map, this can be a pain sometimes.

The alternative is to reformat your Windows drive, losing all the data that is there now.
Copying your Gentoo install to the Windows drive will force you to reformat at least some of it as you cannot install Gentoo onto a ntfs filesystem.
This may or may not cause total data loss on the Windows drive._________________Regards,

Computer users fall into two groups:-
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

I did changed my 80GB HD with a 160GB one, and I used cp -a with satisfaction.
